Positive - its always on
Negative - its not always AVAILABLE!!!

Postive - its cheaper than diginet
Negative - its incredibly slow and oversold

Postive - its cheaper than 24/7 ISDN
Negative - there's no cap on ISDN

....any more...?
 
Positive - it's a form of broadband required by SA Inet users
Negative - it's offered by Telkom and we have no consumer choice in the matter
 
Positive = It's an improvement on how things were. 24/7 connection and no worries on taking your time on-line because you are always connected. Browsing is usually fast after hours.

Negative = It's a 3rd world offer. (high price, 3 gig cap, port prioritizion even if you are not capped, even local bandwidth is measured against the cap, speed during the day is really slow or slower than a 56k modem)
 
Positive:
when it's good, it's good. The last two weeks for me have been stable and with good download speeds most of the time
And the last day before the cap is great. I've chosen today to get capped but I will get all I can with my last 24h connection period.

Negative:
Unfortunately, there are too many restrictions on the service.
 
positive-telkome give you a nice shiny driver cd with it.
negative-3 gig cap,damn slow most of the time,most of the time you never even come near to the advertised speed,expensive.
